    Thank you so much for your insightful article. Having just worked for the President of a company who was a bully, your words about "true" bullies, resonated and truly made me know that I am not alone.

    I have to say, it took me a while, maybe ten years of working, to figure out what I really wanted: a) to work part-time not full-time, even if it means less income bc it's all I can do with my stress levels, and b) find good people to work with. Not perfect people, but people whose idiosyncracies I can stand. Last year, I was busy complaining on these boards about the hell I was in with my boss. I saved up enough money, then quit. It was scary quitting without another job ahead of me. I had to contract for awhile with no steady income but a little here and a little there. Then with my good luck and help from God, one of those contract people needed a permanent employee - that was me! I was hired about seven months after I quit. It was a hard period to get through, but within a year, it's been a nice change. I can look back at where I was before and I just hated it. I hated the person I worked for. Now, my good boss seems even better knowing where I've been. It takes courage to walk away but I believe if you put yourself financially in a position to do it, it's the best thing to leave.
